Quick & Easy Salmon Recipes (Slideshow)

Baked in Parchment
Roasting salmon en Papillote, as the French say, locks in moisture and flavor. (It also prevents your house from smelling fishy and makes cleanup a breeze.)
Grilled Salmon
Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper, and grill over hot coals. Impart a different flavor by using presoaked cedar planks: Season the salmon simply and lay it, skin side down, on the plank. Grill over indirect heat, covered, until cooked through.
Broiled Salmon
The broiler is one of the most underused tools in our kitchens — a great alternative to the grill, especially as the weather turns cool. Serve broiled salmon with a little tamari and citrus juice on top.
Steamed Salmon
Line a bamboo steamer with kale, cabbage, or bok choy for a nutrient boost. Steam for about 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
Seared Salmon
Lay salmon, skin-side down, in a pan and add white wine or a citrus-flavored broth to cover. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for five to 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
Poached Salmon
Lay salmon, skin-side down, in a pan and add white wine or a citrus-flavored broth to cover. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for five to 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
